I think it's a case of whom has more money and more clout.Sky has more of both because it was handed to them by past governments who were terrified of Murdoch.The BBC may have our licence money but it's a drop in the ocean compared to Skys resources.Indeed the BBC has had it's funding reduced at the behest of Murdoch complaining about it so bitterly to the government.
